Add a piece of nicotine gum and you suppress appetite and increase nutrient partioning.

Have you tried this one personally? I haven't, for I quit smoking cold turkey and really used will power against my need of smoking or nicotine...sort of have steered clear of all that, yet it is the second time I see this mentioned, and anecdotally my relatives who have used it have also lost their appetite a bit...

Asking because I am doing a "making weight" competition prep, and got used to indulging in food too much .

I've done EC + nicotine gum. It for sure increases the appetite suppressant effects, not sure if by potentiation or simple sum of effects.

isnt nicotine highly addictive? whether your getting nicotine from from cigarettes or gum, isnt it essentially the same thing?

It should be noted that the highly addictive quality of cigarettes lies not within its nicotine content, but rather its nicotine pharmacokinetics. Cigarettes provide an immediate jolt of nicotine to the CNS, resulting in almost instant gratification. Delaying nicotine gratification with the use of slower delivery mechanisms should aid minimizing addictive potential.

While evidence of increased dopaminergic and serotonergic activity does much to explain nicotine’s effects on body weight and food intake, such a discussion would not be complete without reference to the food intake regulators leptin and neuropeptide Y (NPY). A detailed discussion of these two peptides is beyond the scope of this article; I refer those interested in a comprehensive review of the physiology and function behind these hormones to Par Deus’ “Leptin: The Next Big Thing” series.

im assuming the nicotine is absorbed through the mucous membranes of mouth, which may not be as immediate as through the lungs but is still relatively rapid. still seems like it could be somewhat addicting to me, particularly with extended use but i could be wrong. non the less, im sure its an excellent apt suppressant.
